Blue Eyed Grass Flower Fiber Bangle

This is inspired by a nice hunk of stiff rug yarn and memories of those pretty little Blue Eyed Grass Flowers I used to pick on the farm as a lanky farmgirl.

This fiber bangle is extremely lightweight and machine washable. It's also quiet... I love that about it, and doesn't hurt your wrist if you rest it on it.

Pretty variegated blue flowers have eye-popping bright yellow centers and compete in a pretty row around this cuff.
Of course, nothing's perfect in nature, so I threw a two-petaled contender into the mix. In the US this ships via First Class Insured, as it is one of a kind. Everywhere else will have it shipped Priority Mail with a tracking number. It comes to you packaged in a sheer reusable organza bag so please be sure to use it again!

Fabric Bangle of 100% Recycled Materials


Ok, so I will be creating and publishing a tutorial on these this week... this was just too cool.

I made this out of a nice sturdy hair dye box, two plastic shopping bags, and old curtain, a dress shirt, and a ribbon :)

It's available on Etsy, click any of the pics to visit the listing.

Cute Wrist cuff / anklet / choker in Gray and Spring Green








This soft crocheted wrist adornment can be worn in a number of ways.





The Gray eco-yarn has a deep shiny luster and the cuff is edged in a lacy, energizing, tangy, spring green. There are four holes edged in the same juicy green and the crocheted lacing is the same citrusy key lime color. This is totally adjustable and may also be worn as an anklet,a choker, a garter, or even waist accessory, if you swap out the lacing for something longer like a ribbon or shoe lace. It measures 8 inches (20 cm) long by three inches (7.62 cm) wide.



There is a small hidden pocket concealed softly inside, good for a folded bill, a candy, or some other little favor you may hold dear :).


The cuff is machine washable and washing it will only make it better, felting it and making it a more cohesive yet soft fabric, just dry flat and shape by hand.


This comes to you in a reusable organza bag via First Class mail in the US and Priority elsewhere.

Tangled Up In Blue Bangle of recycled materials with ribbon Crochet



This blue-tiful bangle is made of 90% recycled materials. The inital base is a piece of recycled aluminum foil, washed, and then wrapped with unwanted photocopies and paper mache of old phone book and then finished with a pink piece of recycled copy paper.
I crocheted pretty blue variegated ribbon yarn around it.
It is lustrous, shiny, very lightweight, and above all, Eco-Chic :). This is a great accessory for summer; unlike heavy plastic accessories, this won't make you sweat.
